....................Expecting more than just “good” feels like asking much, but Miller is clearly the generous type. Mad Max: Fury Road is better than just good. It’s “great,” perhaps even better, though piling on superlatives too quickly, too soon might do the film a disservice. If Miller had simply aimed just above the line of “serviceable,” he still might have sated his audience’s action cravings. But after maintaining a holding pattern for so long, “satisfactory” wouldn’t have passed muster. Miller knew it, too, so he decided to swing for the fences. Try naming a modern blockbuster that has as much chutzpah as Mad Max: Fury Road. You can’t, because there isn’t one. This is what happens when you lay out all your crazy on the screen at once: glorious, crackling entertainment.

I just watched it and honestly the visuals are a modern day masterpiece, utilizing every ounce of 2015 movie making technology. Its an instant classic for any sci-fi (since its post-apoc) or action fan. The movie puts it foot on the gas both literally and figuratively from start to finish. A must see and instantly the best movie of the year so far. Don't expect your girl to enjoy the story though but she will enjoy the music and visuals, so bring her at your own risk.

Alright well here's my review. No spoilers at all.

 

 

Let's be clear. This movie is freaking awesome. It is the best action movie I have seen in the last 5 years. Easily. I have not been this satisfied with an action movie since the first expendables. You will pay money for this film and be very glad you did. I will buy this movie the day it comes out.

 

Hardy is awesome as usual. He touches a film, his scenes are awesome. He wasn't quite the Max you'll know, but Mel Gibson has a certain style that can't be matched, so Tom just did his own Max. No shame in trying to be your own man.

 

Charlize is also freaking awesome. She is not helpless, she is in control and she rocks the freaking screen.

 

Here are some of the highlights (no spoilers again)

 

All sorts of different kinds of characters who bring something interesting to watch for their scenes.  They'll all captivate you at some point in the film, all of them. The villains are so great

 

The visuals are fan-freaking-tastic. A lot of practical effects that come out looking great and when we went CGI it also shined.

 

The pacing of the film is very nice. It gives you just enough time to catch your breath and come down for the next bang.

 

Action is God tier. It is incredible. The perfect blend of everything. It just feels so good and smooth, yet gritty and rough. Loved it.

 

The apocalypse setting is fantastic. You feel like a world without hope is all there is.

 

 

Go see this movie. It met the hype for me and the hype was unreal.

Just gotta shout out to Charlize Theron, I usually hate waif model types in action movies. Especially when they are supposed to be badasses. I just can't beleive a 110 woman with hair extensions can throw a punch. But for some reason, that doubt never entered my mind with Charlize. Perhaps owing to her outstanding acting abilities, but she was every bit the badass the character demanded. Loved every second of the film! I might have to go back and rewatch it in theaters. It's that spectacular. Exactly what a summer action should be. Exciting without being brainless, or most importantly soulless.

You guys are really going to make me go watch this movie aren't you? At this point it can't possibky live up to the expectations you guys have built for me.

Honestly it was terrible. Don't waste your time or money.

    • If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy
    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
